Ruth Antonini

Ruth was incredibly influential in my early years of teaching. She helped grow my little baby teacher confidence and saw a strength in me that took years for me to find myself. I am so grateful for her mentorship and know with certainty I wouldn't be where I am without her today. Sending all my love and condolences to her family.

We extend our sincere sympathy and value your trust during this time of remembrance and reflection. We pledge our support now and in the future.

I consider myself the luckiest person in the world, because Ruth was my sister. She was also my best friend. We were not close as children - 8 years separated us - but gratefully, we became extremely close in later years. "The greater the love, the greater the grief" certainly applies. I am devastated to lose her, but so thankful for all the beautiful times we shared through the years. I know her message to all of you would be to live boldly and without fear, and to lead with love. That's...

Jackie and family, I am so sorry to hear this news. Your mom was a great person and I always enjoyed chatting with her when she came into the store. Occidental lost one of the good ones.
